Your Guide to Getting Started
People around the world are craving purpose and clarity on how to take action to make the world a better place – But too many barriers stand in the way of starting a nonprofit or social enterprise organization, social impact career, or lifestyle. And that sucks, because if we’re going to tackle local and global problems, we need more hearts and minds at the forefront of creating change.

Hi, I’m Amber!
I’m a writer, speaker, nonprofit founder and social entrepreneur on a mission to help everyday people create their roadmap to a life or career that creates positive social change.
Years ago, I felt inspired to make an impact in my community and launched a nonprofit with little experience, just a handful of supporters, and zero dollars in start-up funds. I grew the organization and became its full-time Executive Director, working to fulfill our mission alongside a team of staff and an amazing board of directors.
I started getting lots of questions – from friends, from strangers! – about how I did it. So, in 2019, I started a YouTube channel (followed by this blog) with a goal of helping more people join the social change club and demystifying how it all works: Starting a nonprofit or social enterprise, making an impact through socially conscious business, recruiting and mobilizing volunteers to help great causes, and more.
Now I’m here to help you turn your passion into a successful nonprofit or social enterprise through my Founder to Full-Time Academy!
I believe two things:
1. Any person can be a changemaker, regardless of background, education, or experience. Every person who ever changed their community or changed the world started out as an everyday human just trying to figure life out.
2. The time and opportunity is now to shift the attention of our modern workforce and lifestyle toward innovation and services that solve persistent problems like food insecurity, access to education and healthcare, and more.
But getting started isn’t easy. As a nonprofit founder myself, I know the challenges intimately.
